The Back Story:
Top Photo: Gary Granger hailed from the tiny hamlet of Worthington MA. Gary raced at the Valley
for a number of years in the late model sportsman division in the late 60’s
and early 70’s driving a #129 ’56 Chevy that was
nicknamed “Half Fast”.
After the high banks, Gary turned his attention to truck pulling,
winning big traveling all over the East Coast in various competitions. He was a part of a group called the “Hill Town
Pullers”, the club coined the phrase since Worthington
and the adjacent towns involved were amongst the clouds in Western
Mass. Pretty clever of
them, Eh?
Second Photo: A few weeks back, we had Gary Granger as a MD,
and after the sharp LVC crowd filled me in with who he was, up pops another
picture of Gary. This picture proves
that Gary was
indeed a strong runner, scoring a victory in the limited sportsman class
against some of the days best. |
